Talk:Toulouse goose

Photograph Needed

This Toulouse Geese article is in need of a photograph of the breed. The image on the page is O.K. but is in fact scanned from a label of Tinned Duck Pate. If anyone can help by up-loading a decent photo of the Geese I am sure the page would look a lot better. 21st December 2006 Stavros1 20:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I've owned Tolouse geese for years - the oldest I have is fifteen years old. Though they have all the proper equipment to fly, they simply don't try - and when they get excited and flap their wings hard enough to actually lift themselves off the ground, it scares the hell out of them and they immediately stop flapping. My guess is that like many large birds, they have to be taught to fly by their parents or they never really learn it.Xaa (talk) 04:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

egg production

The article linked in reference to egg production was quoted incorrectly. They only lay 20-35 eggs per year. Definitely not in the hundreds! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.97.15 (talk) 05:31, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Adding Headings

I am working on adding some additional headings to this page to help organize the text a little more fluidly. I have looked at similar pages for very common domesticated chickens (e.g. Leghorn, Plymouth, Rhode Island Red), and it seems that common headings include: History, Description/Characteristics, and Use. I am using my sandbox to gradually edit the page, relocating portions of text to the relevant heading. I also have some content from an online encyclopedia to add and will be editing a bit as I go.

Well, That librarian 88, the page certainly needs about all the help it can get! I've added an infobox and some basic references in the hope that those may be of help, but not yet started on removing the unreferenced stuff from the article. Why make your edits in a sandbox? Why not just edit the page? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

References

I just noticed that the link to the Hugo reference from the FAO is broken. I am going to try to track it down, but it seems difficult to locate full-text. That librarian 88 (talk) 19:00, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Alright, I tracked it down. Looks like it was originally an article published in the journal called World Animal Review. The content is hosted on the FAO webpage. I have updated the reference in the sandbox version of this article that I am working on.That librarian 88 (talk) 19:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

History

I notice that there does not appear to be a reference for some of the historical background for the goose. Some of what is already written, although not currently cited as such, is reported in Dohner's The Encyclopedia of Historic and Endangered Livestock and Poultry Breeds. I will update the reference.That librarian 88 (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
